Commission Rules and ToS
7 years ago
I finally made my own Rules & Terms of Service for future commissions with me :) Because this is my first draft, this is subject to change if necessary.
Subject Matter:
When commissioning me, please keep my strengths in mind; I thoroughly enjoy sketching fantasy/medieval themed pieces, anything in/around forests, underwater stuff, and mythical creatures & monsters. Subjects involving vehicles, modern day buildings (such as skyscrapers and industrial structures), and/or mechanical/robotic things are simply a NO-GO for me and to be perfectly honest, they just don’t interest me. I would rather do a commission for you with my full heart & soul going into the work, rather than do something half-assed pertaining to subjects I don’t find interesting or find enjoyment in.
In regards to adult subject matters, I’m pretty open minded about many kinks/fetishes in the fur fandom, but, as stated above, there is some content that I absolutely will not touch because I either: A.) don’t find it hot/sexy, and/or B.) the subject matter(s) makes me uncomfortable.
Communication & Payment
To ensure I’m able to keep my records secure & private, discussing commissions will be done strictly via email; I will not discuss anything via public forum such as journals/posts or notes on FA, as data hacking has become a problem with many websites lately. All payments are accepted via PayPal as USD and I will start your commission as soon as I receive your payment. If you cannot pay me right away, this is perfectly fine! Life gets in the way, stuff happens. Just keep me informed! I will basically place your commission on hold for one week, but if you’re unable to pay by then, your commission spot is forfeited.
References
While I normally prefer ref sheets, if all you have are multiple colored images of the desired subject from various angles, that’s perfectly acceptable too! In regards to written descriptions, I’m EXTREMELY hesitant to accept these, but if your character is relatively simple and the description you provide covers a great deal of needed details, I might make an exception. That being said, if all you give me is a written description, and some details of your work isn’t 100% exact, simply (and politely) tell me while I’m in the rough draft sketching phase and I will do my best to work with you. SecondLife screenshots are okay, but please refrain from images with special lighting, special effects, or poses that make it difficult to see the entire character and its’ details.
Turnover Speed, The Process, & Sketch Approvals
As previously stated, once I have your payment, I will start your commission ASAP. My general turnover rate is within a month (30 days); if for some reason I am falling behind and if it looks like it may take longer, I will keep you updated. As far as my process goes, I generally ask what sort of pose you have in mind, and after we discuss this with example images, I will begin working out a rough sketch. Because I’m a bit of a perfectionist, I will normally send you 2, maybe 3 in-progress snapshots so if there are details I’m missing or what have you, you can point these out to me while I’m still in the early stages of your work. Once I have completed the rough draft, I will begin the inking process and erase the pencil beneath to have a clean finalized black & white art piece :) If you paid for a colored commission, I will send you the Hi-Res versions of your commission once it’s completely inked and, of course, when it’s completely colored. IT IS CRUCIAL you keep in touch with me regarding these sketch approvals because, as I’m strictly a traditional artist, once it’s on paper, it’s there permanently. I work with rollerball ink pens, colored pencils & markers, all of which do not erase once it’s on paper. If you, the commissioner, do not give me proper feedback/communication during the early sketch phases - when I’m fully capable of changing things with little to no trouble - and only voice your dissatisfaction until the art piece is completed, you will not be compensated in any form, and most likely, I will refuse future dealings with you.
Mistakes & Recompense
At the end of the day, we’re all human and mistakes can happen. If you see a mistake in your commission or I’ve forgotten a certain vital detail, please tell me politely! I’m very sensitive when it comes to my work, so just kindly point it out to me, and I’m more likely to respond nicely and work with you on what I can do to fix the problem. However, if the mistake is one I cannot fix, or I have attempted to fix and my efforts failed, unfortunately, I won’t have time or energy to redo the piece over. And because I have already spent a great deal of time doing this work, I cannot issue refunds. In compensation for my mistakes, I can offer you a discount on your next commission or offer you some free artwork. HOWEVER, if the mistake is not my fault (due to improper references/last minute changes/or lack of communicating with me during the approval phases) I will not give discounts/refunds. Incidents such as this will be discussed strictly in private messages/emails and what paths we can take from there on; this will be done on a case by case basis. I reserve the right to issue a refund and cancel a commission in the event of poor communication, rude/inappropriate behavior, or inability to communicate in effective English.
Re-Posting
If you commission me, you absolutely have my permission to repost the art I create for you wherever you like - I do kindly ask that you put some kind of credit in there though somewhere, so that others can find me. :) If you are NOT the commissioner or the intended recipient of the art, YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION/CONSENT TO RE-POST MY WORK.
I realize this request will likely be ignored by the vast majority of people, and that is why I only upload low-res images. This cuts down on companies stealing my art and using it for tshirts and things of that nature. (Yes, they can still do it, but it's going to look like pixely messy crap.) If you want, I will give you a high-res for your own PERSONAL use, but please refrain from posting that, as it keeps my art, and your characters, from being stolen and plastered all over some knock-off company's cheaply made products.
In return, I also reserve the right to repost any art that contains my characters, whether it was commissioned by/for me or not. Please keep this in mind if someone approaches you and asks you to include one of my characters in a piece they are buying from you - if you have a problem with me reposting, kindly decline to include my character.
Mailing Artwork
All of my artwork is traditional, and I prefer to mail you the original piece once its finished. If you’d like your art mailed to you, there may be an additional fee to cover the cost of shipping. The amount will vary depending on where you live and how far the picture has to travel. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK your addresses before you send it to me!! IT’S SUPER MEGA IMPORTANT that you make sure you give me ALL the correct info with your address...including your full legal name (NOT your furry name!) and city, state, zip etc. I will write it on the envelope exactly as you give it to me so if your info is incorrect, you risk your package either getting lost or returning to me (in which case, you will need to pay shipping again for me to resend it).
All artwork is sent via the USPS, and I do my best to pack it safely to prevent bending. Once the artwork leaves my hands however, I can no longer assume responsibility (believe me, if I could teleport,I ’d hand-deliver it myself! lol). Tracking information is always included for US customers (it isn't offered for international, sorry!). When your art has been sent, I will notify you via email and give you the tracking info :D
